Dallas Cowboys Blog

SportsDayDFW Cowboys writer David Moore talked about a number of Cowboys-related issues with readers on Monday afternoon. Here are some of the highlights:

On if he thinks Jerry Jones has already made up his mind about what he’d like to do with the coaching job in 2011:

MOORE: I don’t think Jones mind is made up that Garrett will be the next coach. But if it continues to play out this way, I believe Garrett will be the head coach and Jones will feel his initial evaluation of Garrett is justified.

On what the chances would be that Mike Zimmer would come back as the defensive coordinator and change back to the 4-3?

MOORE: I could see Zimmer coming back. It sure doesn’t look like anyone on that Cincinnati staff will be retained. But this team has been built for the 3-4. I don’t know that it makes sense to switch right now.

On if Dez Bryant should be the team’s No. 2 receiver:

MOORE: To me, it’s evident that Bryant is good enough to start. He will start at wide receiver for the Cowboys next season and for a long time to come. My question would be is does he have a good enough feel for the offense to always be on the field at the end of games? That hasn’t been the case early in the season. When the Cowboys did try to force feed him the ball on that final drive Thursday, it didn’t go well. Again, this isn’t unusual for a rookie receiver. There is a lot more for them to learn than a rookie running back. I don’t think you can argue in any way that Bryant’s development has been stunted this season. He’s getting plenty of opportunities to show what he can do.

On if Martellus Bennett is a bust or still a work in progress:

MOORE: He does a lot of good things. I wouldn’t call him a bust. But I don’t know that he’ll reach the potential many projected as a receiving threat.
